Elsa Little's Photos for fall 2010 contest from her Independent Study semester

Description for Maasai Dancing
With openness, these Maasai women shared a piece of their culture and eventually encouraged me to join in the dancing festivities.

Description for Huge Happiness
Children open my heart and transform my concepts about poverty- Poverty does not equate unhappiness, as this child's smile so fervently demonstrates.

Description for Bibi Helen
72 Year-Old Bibi Helen has opened the minds of countless Tanzanian's by promoting gender equality through means of education, most importantly she leads by example declaring, "With education you cannot be afraid to face anyone, you’ll be courageous."

Description for Maanda
Maanda single-handedly has opened up opportunities for hundreds of disempowerd Maasai girls, providing education, skills training, and most importantly instilling self-confidence- creating a better future for her peoples.

Open your mind to the limitless capabilities of children, (and new ways of carrying things!).
